Gentle, not angry250 ? Gentle, not angry #1
If I lose to Elfriede like this, I will lose a lot.
No matter how I feel, Elfriede will still be mistaken in thinking that I like her.
Even the ridiculous idea that I’m meeting Luna so that I can forget Elfriede will become the correct answer.
Of course, this was only Elfriede’s conjecture and misunderstanding, but if I lost like this, I would definitely become that kind of person for the rest of my life, at least in Elfriede’s mind.
I absolutely cannot tolerate that kind of behavior.
So I moved my hand, processing the aftermath of being hit or cursed in various ways. My hand was directed to the long, puffy skirt that Elfriede was wearing, typical of the treatment center.
Ssuk.
When she reached inside and her hand touched the cold, soft thigh, Elfriede screamed in genuine surprise.
“Hey, what are you trying to touch, you idiot!”
A person’s hair can stand on end like a cat’s. Elfriede was glaring at me with her hair standing on end.
The guy’s hand was tightly gripping my wrist, preventing me from touching the space between his thighs.
“Did you really hit me? You idiot, now that you’re about to lose, are you going to pounce on me? I’ll kill you!”
Phaget, phaget.
From such Elfriede, an aura that seemed to prick my skin overflowed.
This is probably a unique way for this guy to emit mana or use his energy. You can feel on your skin that this guy is really angry.
If Hassan had been a slave back then, he would have bowed his head and apologized to Elfriede when she was angry, but I was an adventurer with a lot to lose.
There is no way backing out here.
I said nonchalantly, putting more and more pressure on my hand as it went down the guy’s thigh.
“What are you talking about? It’s a massage. I’m going to give you a massage. Is there a problem?”
“You crazy, what kind of massage is this!? You know that it’s nonsense, don’t you? Before I scream, before I set this place on fire, take your hands off me quickly.”
Kwaaaaak.
I felt a strong force enter Elfriede’s hand that was holding my wrist.
Not only did the guy grip my wrist with such force, he also sharpened his nails and pressed them firmly against my wrist. It hurt.
But I am not the one to back down here.
“Didn’t you say that no matter what I do, you won’t feel anything? Are you getting scared now?”
“… Who the hell is nervous? Are you the one who’s going to be okay? Huh?”
Although Elfriede was shouting loudly, I could sense the bravado in the stuttering boy’s voice.
The only way to tell if a woman is aroused or not is to touch her directly.
So touch it.
For that simple algorithm, my hands were soon moving past Elfriede’s knees, up her thighs, and toward her hip joint where her lymph nodes were.
“Get out! Get out of my skirt!”
Elfriede twisted her body as if she was going to raise a thorn in my direction.
Deering-.
『Name: Elfriede Desmund Lv. 35 25
Strength: 12 8
Agility: 11 8
Stamina: 12 9
Quirks: Sadism》Separation Anxiety》Atheist》
Condition: frozen shoulder》cold hands and feet》irregular menstruation》
The current guy’s level was lower than mine, and his strength was 4 points lower than mine, so he was not strong enough to stop my actions.
Swish, swish-.
So eventually my hand ends up going towards the inside of his thigh.
Elfriede screams as she sticks her finger deep into her thigh.
“You idiot! You little punk! You lost! You lost! Admit it! You lost!”
The guy’s condition was like a dog being dragged to a slaughterhouse. He was showing off his white teeth, and his already red eyes were bloodshot, making him look extremely sinister.
But without caring about that, I slowly crawled between Elfriede’s legs with my palm.
Her skin, which was inexplicably smooth and soft, was slippery with sweat flowing down her body, perhaps because the massage had improved blood circulation.
Unfortunately, it has a nice touch. It feels like Juji will be served.
“Stop it, stop it! You idiot! Seriously, I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
As my hand crawled upward like a spider, Elfriede’s condition worsened. I pressed down on the guy’s shoulder and with my remaining hand, I pointed upward endlessly.
“Hey, why did you get so strong! You just have to be under me! You slave bastard, you savage bastard! You uneducated bastard-!”
As I listened to the guy’s complaints, my hand finally reached the warm upper part. I moved my fingers and gently stroked the area between his legs.
Just that alone is enough to make my juice stand still.
It was clear that I had lost the bet. Elfriede was so upset at being forcibly touched that she didn’t even have time to check if my Juji was right.
So my hand touches the guy’s underwear. And at that moment, I try to vividly engrave the feeling between the fingerprints of my fingers.
“Muuuuuuuuuu-!!”
Elfriede’s face turned red and looked like it was going to burst, and a scream like a wall burst out from between her lips.
“Ifrit-!!!”
Along with the harsh sound of the spell, my ears and eyes became blocked by flashes of light and tinnitus.
Everything is literally enveloped in red flames.

It is a well-known fact that fire is dangerous.
If you are old enough, there is no need to talk about how dangerous a large fire is. However, most of the time, it is just a sense of caution based on experience or learned knowledge.
All I know is that fire is dangerous and scary.
It is rare to actually witness its dangers.
I used to be like that too.
But when you see a truly huge fire engulfing your surroundings, the only thought that comes to mind is to run away.
Knock, knock-.
Everything around is engulfed in flames and burns.
The acrid smoke and the heat burning my face and arms made me dizzy. I thought I had nothing to do with the flames since I escaped while burning down the arena.
“What the hell, all of a sudden, all of a sudden!? There’s a fire! There’s a fire!!”
“Evacuate the people! Quickly!”
“I think there was an explosion or something! Quick, call the security guard! Call the firefighters!”
“Hey, there’s still someone in that bedroom over there-”
Screams and the sound of things collapsing are heard here and there. It is only natural that everyone is surprised and scared, since the hospital that treats the sick is suddenly engulfed in flames.
I was also very embarrassed.
Elfriede appeared in front of me.
In this situation where everything is burning red, the guy is laughing eerily with his mouth wide open.
Elfriede is crazy.
Even though I knew that very well, I never thought that someone would be so crazy as to set fire to a treatment center where innocent people were staying.
After all, this is the woman who set fire to the World Tree that the elves worship so reverently.
It would be ridiculous to set fire to a house where people live. I also feel like I understand why the elves were chasing this woman.
They may not have come simply to punish the sinners.
Could it be that he was chasing Elfriede to prevent a repeat of the mistake of Alfheim, which was engulfed in a huge fire?
We must stop Elfriede.
“Hey, Elfri-.”
So, at that moment when I reached out to stop the guy who was waving his hands around in the flames, there was a loud crack-! and an even bigger explosion.
Because of that, I felt like I was literally floating backwards in the air.
Because I was blown away without being able to get my bearings, the broken pieces of debris hit my shoulders and back, making it sting.
When I came to my senses again, all I could see was a burning flame, and Elfriede was nowhere to be seen.
He ran away. It looks like he escaped through the window, as the window is broken.
“Oh, shit!”
It’s done.
I quickly got up and started walking to find Elfriede, who had disappeared somewhere.
The burning down of the treatment center is a big deal, but if it were just one building that burned down, it might be considered a bit more serious.
But now that Elfriede has gone berserk and is roaming the city, burning things, there is no turning back.
Elfriede was like a grenade with the safety pin pulled.
A hazardous material that will explode if someone touches it. An unexploded bomb that could explode at any moment even if no one touches it.
It finally blew up here, and I was probably the one who flipped the switch.
It’s done.
Honestly, the fire is destined to go out eventually.
This is not a western slum, but a wealthy street near the eastern gate where there are many rich people, so competent security guards, firefighters, and water-attribute wizards will come and put out the fire quickly.
But if a fire breaks out, an epidemiological investigation will eventually be conducted, and if we continue to go back to why Elfriede started the fire, it was clear that I would not be able to avoid responsibility.
I felt a strange chill down my spine in the blazing fire.
We need to catch him and stop him before he causes trouble beyond Elfriede’s control.
As I was leaving the burning room with that feeling, the treatment center was already covered in bright red flames, sticking to the walls like lizards, flicking their tongues.
“help!”
In my eyes, I saw a woman crouching on the floor with her nose blocked by something like a handkerchief. She seemed to be the therapist who had guided me to the room earlier.
“Help me! My legs, my legs are stuck and I can’t move!!”
Now that I looked, I could see that the healer’s legs were covered with something like a huge pillar, pressing down on his lower body. Going to stop Elfriede was my first priority, but I wasn’t brave enough to ignore the voices that were staring at me like that.
“Hey, shit!”
I cursed in desperation and ran towards the therapist. Then I lifted the pillar that was weighing down his lower body.
“Euuuu-!!”
But I don’t know what it was made of, but it was a really, really heavy pillar.
“This is an iron pillar! It will be difficult to lift it alone! Quickly, call someone else, someone else!!”
“Euuuuuuu-!!”
I clenched my teeth and strained my body so much that I could feel the veins in my body rising and the tendons in my neck popping out.
The iron pillar was so hot that it felt like it would burn my hand, but the pain made my body stronger and I was able to lift it somehow!
“I can’t hold it for long, so hurry up and go! Hurry up! Hurry up! Ssib-aaaa-!!”
The therapist came crawling out from under the pillar, perhaps seeing my urgency. However, instead of running away or anything, he shouted next to me.
“There are people trapped in that room over there too! They’re unconscious, so they couldn’t escape!”
“Oh my, Sipha.”
I did it, so I have to clean it up.
If people die or get hurt because of this fire, it’s really an endless abyss. They’ll be thrown back into slavery? I might as well just commit suicide.
Hwaruk-.
Just then, the entrance to the room the therapist had pointed to was seen engulfed in flames. Black smoke was pouring out from inside along with the explosion, which looked extremely dangerous.
“Ugh, I guess I’m late!”
The therapist then frowns greatly.
But I was already moving faster than I thought. I roughly brushed away the remnants of the flames blocking the entrance with my bare hands and stepped into the room.
Then, inside, as the therapist had said, four unconscious people were seen lying on the beds and being roasted to medium heat.
“Oh, shit! Everyone get up! Hurry up!”
After putting those guys on my body and shoulders, I went back out of the room.
Perhaps because I inhaled the toxic gas, my vision became increasingly blurry and even breathing felt heavy, as if there was lead in my lungs.
“… Hey, shit. What a shitty life.”
“Cue, cure!”
My body began to strangely become more energetic again. It seemed like the healer I had saved had used his healing magic for free.
Thanks to that, I was able to come to my senses a little.
“First, let’s get people out!”
I and the therapist carried all the people who were unconscious or injured in the fire out of the building. It was a mess because there were so many people screaming and groaning here and there, probably from burns.
“Oh my god, what the hell is going on all of a sudden?”
Among them was Elfriede’s former party member, Baek Eun-jo, and Delphina frowned deeply as she looked at the infirmary burning down.
“This isn’t something that deserves to be scolded by the Count! Hey, Samaritan! What on earth did you talk about with Elphie to get like this!”
Perhaps it was Elfriede who had set fire to this infirmary. As I was sweating inside, I felt someone approaching me with a strong movement behind me.
“Ah-. So this is how it ended up. I was going to give you until midnight. If I don’t catch you, you’re going to be in big trouble.”
I turned my head and saw a female elf with a short, gray haircut, looking at the flames just like me.
His name was probably Mimir. He was one of the pursuers who had been chasing Elfriede. And the nimble elven monk with his arms crossed next to him was probably Dalthor the Lightning.
How did you get here?
Has the chase already begun? I was wondering as Mimir spoke.
“The flames of destruction, the flames of Surtr. The traces of a sorceress are clear. Unable to control them, they eventually went out of control.”
Swish.
Mimir’s eyes, turned toward the dark evening sky, reveal the heat and black smoke rising here and there in the city.
“We’d better catch them before the city burns down. I think I know where they ran off to. It’s a little earlier than planned, but then, Daltor. Let’s move together-.”
Shake it.
At that very moment, there was a sound of sharp metal cutting through the wind.
The sharp blade of the rapier passed right in front of Mimir’s head, who had tilted his chin back. When Mimir turned his head, Delphina, fully equipped, was standing there.
Mimir speaks, wiping the blood flowing from his cheek.
“What are you doing? Do you know who we are?”
“Well. Maybe they’re just unlucky rascals? More importantly, Samaritan. What are you doing? We should go and stop them. The city is going to burn. Aren’t you trying to be the city’s hero?”
Delphina waved her sword in the air and shook the blood off the tip of the sword. Behind her, Lirina Edwin, dressed in the same gear as Delphina, appeared.
At that sight, Mimir, an elf woman with short hair, takes out a strangely curved dagger from her robe and speaks.
“You’re making me see blood. It won’t end with normal determination.”
The Elf Pursuit Party and the Silver Rose aim their weapons at each other as if they are about to clash in front of the burning infirmary.
I was stuck between them, and I turned my head when I heard the sound of an explosion again. Looking at the smoke rising, I ran as if I was flying.
[Work Review] This was originally going to be a quick ending episode, serving as a bridge, but Hassan and Elfriede had a deep animosity towards each other, so before we knew it, we had reached the tenth episode… But now it’s really over…!!!
Michuri, hold your breath under deep water…
